It's good, and I wonder what you would write in a continuation. However bleak it is, even if there is no chance of an update, I'm-a gonna follow it.

Seriously, I would refuse to go into the arena in the first olace. The Dursleys would be better!

Interesting! I found this on jacobk's favorite list, and was not disappointed.

Oh man, that is fantastic! I can only imagine what attending class is like at that version of Hogwarts!

How mentally bloody retarded is he? He just went to a school where they put untrained eleven year olds against a troll, in which many of them die or are irreparably wounded, then he’s both ridiculed and praised by the authorities for killing it. I would leave. That isn’t normal.

Fun!

This was insane!

Pretty impressive.

What on earth...
I like it but at the same time i’m disturbed by it.
I do applaud your writing skills. It’s great.

Wow this is some well-written horror. Was not expecting this dystopia-esque setting when I clicked on this story, but it works.

wow. this would be a crazy AU

Thank you for this story.

Incredible! Love it!

"But since you've slain the troll, you must now take its place and help us sort the remaining first years, Mr. Potter," Dumbledore explained with a twinkle.
I thought it was a wonderful little one-shot.

So my initial reaction was to exclaim, "Wow this is really disturbing! But I kinda like it-black comedy and all. I was half-way expecting Harry to wake up from a dream at the end, but I liked the 'Had no sense or inkling that you probably shouldn't march children up to fight trolls. But they liked him,' even better than awaking from a dream sequence. Very well written, thanks for sharing!"

-So that was the comment I was originally going to post, but then I caught a glance at some of the prior reviews on this story-and um, what the hell? Who are these people saying these awkward and weird nasty things? Is there some sort of inside joke going on? Something about trolls? I sincerely hope so. Sincerely.

I have no idea how you figured you could make a story from this idea but you pulled it out fantastically! I applaud you for the way you developed this story in such an interesting way! I admit, I really wish for a continuation to this one shot! It makes me giddy just thinking of the other ways this recklessness and madness can transform the events happening in Hogwarts and the changes in Harry's personality! Great work anyways for this chapter!
